I think I recently saw a posting that discussed this problem, but if
so I must have missed the discussion.

I have an empty folder which I can't delete because error -43 tells me it
is non-empty.

I have used DiskTop 3.04, I have used MacTools 7.0, I have used ResEdit,
and not one of them wants to delete this folder. Disk First Aid doesn't
help: "Unable to verify status of volume".
I can always rename it to 'Thrash 2' I suppose: any file I drop into it
is gone, never to reappear...

Any help appreciated,
